Answer:

13.64%

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

= 4.8% + 1.7 × (10% - 4.8%)

= 4.8% + 1.7 × 5.2%

= 4.8% + 8.84%

= 13.64%

The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)  is also called market risk premium
